1-Day Hangzhou Song Dynasty Photoshoot & Culture Tour
Overview
The Hangzhou Song Dynasty Photoshoot Tour is a one-day private day tour based in Hangzhou. Its main experiences are a Song-style portrait session, West Lake, and Hefang Street and Southern Song heritage.

- Photograph beside West Lake and traditional architecture at the most suitable agreed location.
